    Is weird, some definitions of Latino do not even include Brazilians (many do).

    Portuguese are not Latino but they are Latin with the Italian, French, Spanish and Latinos.

    A few decades back, Nunes would have been taken for Italian and referred to as WOPs or Guido.

    After failing to steal the Governor's race in Georgia the Dems are claiming "a white man STOLE an election from a black woman". Hey Hillary, what ever happened to expecting the results of an election? You and your corrupt, boot licking lackeys are threatening our Democracy.

    Meanwhile down in Florida it appears the Feds are going to actually investigate vote fraud, which has Dems on the defensive and lawyering up.

    Nah, straight from the mule's mouth:

    Hillary Clinton: "I know Stacey [Abrams] well - she was one of my really strong surrogates in the campaign. If she'd had a fair election, she already would have won."

    The race in Georgia is a story about voter access. Kemp, who until last week was still the Secretary of State in Georgia, tasked with overseeing the elections — including his own — has been embroiled in allegations of voter suppression, scrutiny from voting rights groups.

    The month before the election, the Associated Press reported that 53,000 voter registrations, 70 percent of them from black applicants, were being held by Kemp’s office for failing to clear an “exact match” process that compares registration information to Social Security and state driver records.

    Kemp’s office is also under scrutiny for voter purges across the state. A significant number of voters were purged from the rolls in Georgia in the past five years. According to a report released this summer by the Brennan Center, Kemp’s office purged roughly 1.5 million registered voters between the 2012 and 2016 elections. The AP notes that Kemp’s office purged some 670,000 voters last year.

    Why dude Why!! You know he is a troll. He comes on here and makes these comments but then will say he voted for Obama twice and didn't vote for Kemp. What in his history made you think you had to challenge this fool. The best challenge is to not acknowledge him at all.

    Really does not bode well for the GOP:



    Shame about Georgia & Florida, but contesting those races now with young, dynamic, progressive candidates will pay off in the long run. Demographics aren't destiny until they are, y'know?

    Jimmy Christmas, Dems are so determined to undermine our Democracy....

    "Democracy did not win in Georgia." - Eric Holder.

    If you are so concerned about democracy here's an idea Eric... stop propagating blatant lies. This is the slime Dems want running for President?

    Double epic. The political pundits got hosed, played, and punked in the 2016 election, and then for every day over the next two years.

    Now they'll spend two years sitting at Starbuck's and interviewing moms wearing yoga pants, about the suburban female vote, and then the 2020 election will turn out to be about something else.
